Hi,

i have generated hex file for a particular project. The controller used is stm8s003f3. My question is regarding checksum. I'm not familiar with checksum. How can i add checksum to this hex file.? How can i determine the type checksum and its value? Please let me know in detail about checksum. I'm using STVD and STVP for development purpose. Any help would be appreciated...... #stm8 #checksum

For the Cosmic compiler, the checksum is calculated by the linker and can be verified by simply adding a couple of lines in your application, like this:   if (_checksum())     abort(); More details in the manual.

hi,

Thanks for the help..yes i'm using cosmic compiler. How can i determine the type of checksum in that case? Is it possible to add checksum by enabling readout bit (in ROP)using STVP. I have seen such a provision in STVP. I'm not sure whether its a right or notRegards.
